Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has just made an outrageous claim about the injury of Dak Prescott. According to Jones, who has been the owner since 1989, Prescott can return on game week 4 itself. The star quarterback has been the monument for America’s team since 2016, and this specific news has sent the fans reeling in joy.

The Cowboys supporters had to deal with a double blow during the opening week. Not only did they lose to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but a thumb injury also ruled Dak Prescott out for nearly 6-8 weeks.

“I don’t know that anybody knows [when he’ll be back],” Jones said while talking in a podcast named ‘105.3 The Fan’. “But when he [gets enough strength in his hand], then you’ll probably see some real advancement in his timeline. I don’t know when that is. I do know that with a good airing out last week, everybody recognizes that he’ll be back sooner than later as far as the timeline. It really could be a minimum of two weeks up here in my mind [Washington in Week 4]. Now, that’s very optimistic. But he’s got the kind of repair there that will allow him not to have a lot of fear of re-injuring it. It’s just a question of the grip. But it’s a big question.”
